(Radio Iowa) – An arbitration panel has set an award for the University of Iowa in a claim against several contractors over a faulty windows installed at the Stead Family Children’s Hospital. The U-I reports the arbitration panel awarded them 49-point-four million dollars in damages for replacing the windows. The Board of Regents approved an increased budget in February from 45 to 52-and-a-half million to replace the windows.

U-I vice president Rod Lehnertz says the windows were delaminating and cracking and they have been replacing them in sections. The Children’s Hospital was completed in 2017 and has gained national notoriety from “The Wave” as everyone in Kinnick Stadium waves to patients looking out the windows of the hospital at the end of the first quarter of home football games.
